We Care About Your Content

Your website has one goal: to put your content in front of your visitors.
We achieve that using three key design principles: make it fast, make it clean and make it visible.
You will see these principles in action throughout our own site.

Make It Fast

You can have the most beautiful website in the world, but if it doesn’t load quickly, you will lose visitors.
CivicNet-designed websites will load in seconds, whether your visitors are on high speed broadband in the office, or on the go with their mobile phone.

Make It Clean

Your website is your virtual home. You want visitors to feel welcome, safe and happy, and that means no mess and no clutter.
CivicNet specialises in the art of making your text easy on the eye.
Our carefully chosen fonts are supported by simple backgrounds and elegant features.

We are honest. We’ll take your vision for your virtual home and make sure we present it in the best possible way.

Make It Visible

The web is a big place, and there is a lot of competition. Your website needs to stand out.
CivicNet-designed websites adhere to strict search engine optimisation (SEO) standards to make them “Google friendly”.

The best part is, the more visitors engage with your site, the more favourably Google will treat it - and since you have a fast, clean, engaging site, this will happen sooner rather than later.

Special Services

Copywriting

The words on your site need to captivate your visitors. They need to explain what your business is all about quickly and simply, and encourage visitors to keep exploring.

Natalie Bochenski is a professional writer and journalist with over a decade’s experience in radio and online media. She will polish your content to ensure it is bright, snappy and engaging.

Photography

One poorly lit amateur photo can unravel all the great design in the world. Show the best side of your staff members, products and facilities with a world class photographer.

Aurelie Beeston is an award winning wedding photographer and was recently voted amongst the top 30 up-and-coming photographers in the world by Rangefinder magazine.

Logo Design

There isn't a second chance to make a first impression. A professional logo provides an immediately recognised identity and allows for a unified presence across all of your branding. We can capture the heart of your product and give it a new face.

Business Cards

A well designed business card puts your details front and centre when you meet new clients. If you have the same designer working on both your site and your card you'll have a more consistant experience and so will your customers.

Screencasts and Video Training

Need to teach a lot of people quickly and effectively? We can video and screencast to provide step-by-step instructions for any IT related task.

The John Birmingham Bookshelf

The Brief: JB's catalog is starting to get hard to maintain. He's go so many series contained so many books both print and ebook only that keeping up with them had become a trick. He needed something that made it easy to find and buy his books no matter where in the world you are.

Independent Advocacy Townsville

IAT provide support for people with disabilites in and around the Townsville area.

The Brief: The team at Independency Avocacy Townsville were sick of muddling through with their complex admin section. The new site is super easy to update allowing them to make all the changes they need to without getting lost and breaking the site.

The Leadership Academy

The Brief: It was felt that the Leadership Academy website was long overdue for a visual update. We paid special attention to the text formatting to make sure that Peter's message was easy and enjoyable to read.

Fairways Townsville Golf Club

A master-planned golf course and community offering an exclusive inner-city lifestyle.

The Brief:Ingenta’s existing web systems were clunky and difficult to update with new information. Their new community needed a new site to sell it. The CivicNet-designed version allows the group see changes done in situ and the simple upload software makes adding photos and documents a breeze.
